“The song remains the most satisfying creative experience for me. Songs are interactive and over 45 years of writing them I have spent many hours with each of them and they with me. When I listen to one of these old albums I remember where I was and the people I made them with, some living, some now dead. I think about who I am, who I used to be, and who I thought I was. These albums are like flags stuck in the road behind me that winding back almost out of view into the past.”
